Lost a Hub...?

Lost a Hub...?
ok, so saturday night, i had the brilliant idea to go night wheelin with a bunch of drunkies lol
ANYWHO, i snapped a CV shaft, and lost a hub
is it alright if i drive around like that until i get the money to get a new set of AVM hubs? or do i need to throw my stock hubs back on?
The problem with that is i think i modified them to be always locked.. and between that being the side with the broken CV shaft, and having a locker.. i dont want it spinning..
who thinks what?

yea good point, popped into my head haha, i remember someone saying something about a snap ring? i can call the shop that installed my lift tomorrow and ask them how it went on..
but theres o pressure from the hub onto the axle.. that i know of, i mean it was plastic clips holding it on...

looks like i need to invest in a beefier set of snap ring pliers before i replace anything.. at least i don't have to worry about axle nuts and tightening them to a specific torque i THINK lol.. who knows
and for good measures i think im going to pick up a driver side shaft too, its probably not too far behind

Matt, just so you know, you actually aren't going to have any problems running it like that EXCEPT if you get off camber so far that your suspension articulates enough for the CV to slide out, I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith in the little snap ring, but as long as you are babieing (sp?) it I think you will be ok. Isn't your RCD in the front strapped anyway which would be a good thing in this case.

now u tell me after i have been driving around in the rain.. haha
but know there has been water in there...
as for keeping the CV shaft in.. the trucks only seeing pavement until its fixed.. its not very capable in 3(2?)wd i have noticed
i dont really have much faith in the hubs keeping th CV in.. like i said, they are held on my little plastic clips
